Technology is the way forward. Internet bookings are on a continuous rise but a lot of businesses don't take advantage of the technology at hand. Either they don't feel confident using it (like in the case of small B&B) or they don't have the proper access to it. A case is being made for using social networking sites for promotion not just a home page. Other recommendation it makes it at least larger tourism providers should look at having a mobile friendly website available as this is part of future.

Do I agree - Yes in the case of make sure homepage is updates, good booking systems and create a facebook or other social network system page. Do a page for mobile phone use, sure why not. But is that a case for trying to expand the mobile network and mobile broadband in remote areas. Heck no! Who wants to check their blackberry while walking in remote areas. If people do they need their head read. One reason people go there is to get away. Having access to broadband might be handy but you will also end up checking emails etc, not relaxing. Keep the remote areas remote I say.
